Liner Notes with Steve Adelson
Pulse: How long has the Power Trio been together?
Adelson: Sometime in the spring of 2013, we did our first gig as part of the Jazz On The Vine series and followed that up with gigs at The Cutting Room in NYC and Treme in Islip. Our goal is to perform at some major jazz clubs and festivals and possibly tour Europe.
